Chosen By The Moon
Chapter 158
“I’m sure if that was the case, then the man has already given the plate details to his grace. We will need to act quickly.”
“Not really, you Just need to send someone to take the van back across the boarder. He can’t relay information to anyone, 1 killed him. He can’t tell them who it was that had me.” She said it so nonchalantly that it almost made me berate her, but I remembered everything she had been through, hell I practically stood to the side and allowed her treatment to worsen with every day that passed.
“How did you manage to kill a Lycan? There wouldn’t have been any weapons in the van that could have been used, so Vs question was one even I was curious about. This girl was just full of surprises.
“I shot him in the eye. Everyone has a weakness humans and lycans. No one is invincible. Our conversation was cut short when John walked back into the tent with his father in tow. Why they were there was beyond me, but they had obviously been summoned.
“Oh V, I didn’t expect to see you here.” He chuckled at the council member before turning to my dad and speaking directly to him. “I’m sorry I took so long. Elias, I had trouble finding my gear, my wife had put it somewhere ‘safe‘.” Alan joked as he slowly walked up to Dylan holding his tool kit in his left hand, while his son followed behind him. Alan used to be a locksmith before the new world came into fruition, and so his skills were very handy to use in certain situations.
I hadn’t even noticed how blue and swollen Dylan’s hands were due to the metal cuffs that were extremely tightly clamped around her limbs until Alan made his appearance, I was too busy looking at her face, I had missed her more than words could say, not that i could ever tell her.
Upon second glance however I took her full state in, she was bruised and had a cut on the inside of her eyebrow which would most likely scar, she was skeletal which meant Josh had probably starved her even more than before. Her face was pale, and her eyes were bloodshot due to lack of sleep. She was a mess.
Upon really seeing her state my face paled, her wrists were even smaller and more delicate than when I left and she was skinny before so it only highlighted how neglected she really was.
“It’s quite alright Alan, please make short work of it, the council has much to discuss.” He nodded and moved over to Dylan. Could V not give her a little break before throwing her straight into work? I get that everyone here has to pay their way somehow, but the poor girl hadn’t even had the chance to breathe.
“Fucking hell!” John couldn’t contain his shock when his father turned Dylan’s wrists round and showed her scarring to the little audience. They were bad, and you could tell just by the look on her face that she was ashamed of them. “The king really did a number on you.”
I watched her swallow thickly and fight the urge to pull her hand away. Instead she just chuckled awkwardly and averted her eyes from the horrendous burn marks.
“Yeah, I guess he did. Every word in her short sentence was laced with pain and it made my own heart skip ever so slightly. She sounded so ashamed of herself and I couldn’t for the life of me understand why. Everything that she had been through only heightened my respect for her.
She quickly began to massage her hand slightly but was stopped when the second cuff needed to be removed. I wanted nothing more than to take her hand and massage it myself. Just to let her know that there was someone who wanted to help her instead of hurting her.
The second one was taken off and then she made us all aware of the ones around her ankles which were also promptly removed. Eventually she breathed a large sigh of relief, and twisted her wrists painfully wincing with the movement.
“I’m sorry to ask this of you, especially when you most likely just need rest, but given your status we’re going to need some information from you.” Dylan looked truly broken as soon as her eyes met Vs. the problem was, now that she was in fact here she was going to be asked a lot. I had told them that Dylan would do anything to help the cause, and that she was the one that could maybe even lead us to victory.
